American public policy had a nervous breakdown in the late 1960s and 1970s. We lost our way. We're just beginning to find it again.

The breakdown was trying to clear a ball through somebody when it would have been easier to touch it out of bounds. A lot of times those are the bounces of the game; when you try to clear it through somebody it usually bounces off them.

The breakdown of the American family's having a disastrous impact on our economy.

The breakdown of people who are hit by the tax is like a demographic profile of the population in the New York area.

The breakdown of health and education services, the obstruction of humanitarian assistance, the displacement of whole populations and a high infection rate among soldiers -- as in other groups which move back and forth across the continent: all these ensure that the epidemic spreads ever further and faster.

The playability of the movie is wonderful and it's a great kickoff to summer.
